im sorry i was white today

i had too much too much too say

i cant say anything at all

despite the fact its notmyfault

the crime that made your family cry

idid nt doit didnti

i hopeandpray one day we learn

then finally it can be my turn

to stand beside and bring you through

and shine a little light on you

to lift my lamp to hold the door

i wish i could do something more

i wish i could but thats okay.

im sorry i was white today
